It’s so easy for me to just sit here and do nothing but eat and take naps. Which brings me to why I decided to post - I planned another trip which I’ve leaving for this weekend. However, I’m not really enjoying the thought of exploring the world and have shifted into panic mode. If I don’t travel it could be the end of any kind of motivation for me to get out of bed. I’m getting old and I need to believe (like everybody) that there’s is something out there besides panic and loneliness. I hope I can make it to the airport but I just feel it shouldn’t be like a death march but like another grand experience. Thanks I needed a journal entry.....
I had to retire early bc of health. I don't get the chance to travel, but I do a lot here at home. I also have gotten where I don't want to get out. And I don't want to be around other people. I haven't worked from June 2009, and It seems like I have become as you described. I hope that at some point I will want to be in the world again. I have realized that I have to make my self get up, and out, and it can be very hard for me to do. I hope, and pray that you make your self take this trip. Once you have started to go, like get to the airport, hopefully you will get excited about your trip.
